The one on the left, because I have friends and when they visit they also expect to drink from a glass.
There’s a trend to arrange everything like a sculptures in the louvre. It’s a cupboard, and it has doors for a reason.
This does not spark joy.
I am on the right, the wife and kid are on the left.
I’m both.
What if you have one of each?
I think the comic is creating a false dichotomy (as comics often do) because in reality people will often be a little bit of both.
I’ve got assorted mugs and glasses acquired over decades, and my favourites are among them.
I’ve also got some matching wine glasses and matching tea cups, because sometimes it’s just nice when everyone is equal and gets the same.
Art imitates life?
4th type … cupboard empty. Everything on the counters! ADHD ftw!!!
Everything on the counters dirty
Me: Guess I have to wash a glass if I want to get a drink.
My kids: Guess we’re drinking out of flower vases this week!
Of course dirty, I never emptied the dish washer from last time. Once it’s empty from pulling the only clean dishes left out of it, I will be forced to do the dishes again…
The dishwasher never fills up as quickly as when you’ve finally worked up the motivation to properly empty it.
Ah, my old roommate is in the chat
Which absolute psychopath has the one on the right?
Only IKEA and Pottery Barn photographers I think.
My parents and my partner’s parents are BOTH! Regular stuff cupboards are the left image, and fancy stuff that never gets used goes in clear glass displays sorted like the right image.
Go to big lots, buy sets. No more thinking. If get fun mugs, they live up high. Da end
Big Lots went out of business 😞
That would be me.
My walls are painted white, and are bare of any paintings, posters or decorations.
I rent, and don’t own anything.
I don’t have any fingerprints.
In the freezer, is a mould containing the exact shape of NATO standard ca—
I’m just messing with you lmfao
I have near crippling ADHD and prior to moving in with my spouse, my kitchen looked like this, as well as my towels, sheets, cleaners, and spice rack. Having everything ordered took away the mental load, 8 identical towels is one load a week on Sunday plus a spare if something interrupts the schedule. I never had to consider a sensory issue because they’re all the exact same towel. Same for dishes, all my cups held the same amount and felt the same in hand. All my plates and bowls were identical so I couldn’t have a preferred one. All of them were dishwashers safe and dishwasher design friendly so I never needed to consider if they needed special treatment.
Taking away that thing to think about made a huge difference in clarity of mind because I could then use that energy for other things.
I always find it odd that people use a new towel every day but don’t change their bed sheets every day.
While I suggest changing them regularly, I have a different reasoning behind sheets and towels. I shower when I get up and frequently before bed if I feel icky or my spouse invites me. So frequency of sheets goes down because anything it transfers gets washed off in the shower. The towel is used after the shower so anything it transfers lasts all day. That said, after the move in I adopted my spouse’s routine which is much more lax and changes towels every few days. On one hand I now have to track towel wash cycles consciously, on the other hand I’m not doing 3 times the towels so it equals out.
Though now that you have me thinking about it, I would absolutely change sheets daily if it were easier to do so…
You shower twice a day?
Not always, but frequently. Depending on how sticky I get.
Yes! Absolutely the same for me. I also have ADHD and when living alone I had only one type of everything. Since my now wife and me live together, this it not the case anymore and, if I’m being honest, it sometimes stresses me out. It leads to so much distraction for me, that it makes cleaning and tidying up even harder for me than it already is.
100% this is my struggle.
I want things to be orderly because walking into a chaotic place is mentally stressing for me. I feel overwhelmed by things in the way, I am stressed when trying to find things, and I feel like all the things left out are just more things that need to be done when I already have a lot of things to do. This overstimulation causes my brain to just short circuit and shutdown…
For me I respond to stress with object blindness. If I can’t immediately fix something my mind Will literally redact it away to the point that inconveniently places boxes on the floor will be stepped over for weeks until I eventually trip on it and it becomes relevant again.
I don’t have ADHD (I know enough people who do that I can say that quite confidently) and I still find this extremely helpful. Decision fatigue is real, and eliminating trivial decisions is great.
I also have ADHD and I remember that my towels should be switched out every 2-3 weeks. I know this will gross some people out, so sorry if it does, but this is just how my brain functions. in school my teachers frequently told me I’d lose my head if it wasn’t attached.
Hi 👋
In no uncertain terms: how dangerous are you?
I have extensive knowledge of state forests
Is that a special case of state spaces?
It’s worse than I imagined.
I WAS the right side, the gf has made it the left side but the image is too organized to truly represent how it looks
There are dozens of us
When I first met my wife her cutlery drawer was so organised that the cutting edge of all the knives faced the same direction and the forks were all lined up on top of each other.
I nearly ran.
How did you get a picture of my cupboard on the left?!?
The builder of my house is one of those nationwide homebuilders. I don’t trust the workmanship enough to fill the cupboards with breakable plates and glasses.
Kinda feel the same about the cupboards in my apartment. They are visibly angled forward and look like they could just fall down at any moment. 😬
What you want to do is get a box of deck screws a cheap drill, and a stud finder. Find the stud behind the cabinets, then put the deck screw through the top and bottom board at a 45° angle from the outside through the cabinet, into the stud. That will put about 6cm of screw to anchor through both the frame and back of the cabinet. Only way it’s comming down is if the wall does.
While you’re at it, replace the screws holding your door to the wall with them too, the normal screws for a door hinge are 1.5cm max, this will allow your door to sag as well as allow it to be easily knocked down. Replacing them with deck screws makes that far less likely.
If it wasn’t an apartment, I’d have already fixed them up. I have the tools and the know-how; not the permission. 😮💨
As someone who has lived in apartments for most of my adult life, there are two easy fixes for this. If your place has a maintenance guy, hunt him down and either ask him to come by and do exactly this, or if it’d be fine for you to do it yourself. Most maintenance guys are just cool stoners who can fix things and they’ll give 0 fucks if you want to fix something for them so long as you don’t fuck up and have to call him to fix it.
If you have a land Lord, it’s almost exactly the same. Call them, tell them you have an issue you need them to fix, then off hand mention how you’d just do it yourself and explain how before saying you wouldn’t want to get in trouble for messing with their property. Again, most land lords will take you up on it and just let you.
If you have a corperate or bank land Lord, do it anyways and if anyone asks down the road just say it was like that when you got here. They’re too beaurocratic to actually notice or care.

This just looks like my shelves. One side has the store bought glasses; the other has all the novelty/gas station refillable cups.
my glasses match but my mugs don’t
The severity of each level is different
I think matching wine glasses is relatively uncontroversial, but also understandable if kinda mismatched. A contingent of matching tumblers is also fine but you need the random pint glasses too at the very least. I maintain a fully matching set of mugs is a red flag
I think there’s room to wiggle on the mugs. I have a matching set for daily use and an unmatched collection stored separately for special occasional. I will never get rid of my penis pink German skull and crossbone mug, but I also prefer the consistency in volume of my matching set for chai in the morning.
Not enough mugs tbh
My mugs are taking over. I’ve started having to take some out of circulation and store them elsewhere.
The unusable cabinet that commonly lives above refrigerators is the ideal purgatory for lesser mugs.
That’s exactly where they are!
